Besides how to set up, run, configure, optimize, and monitor your data center solution, one of the most important things is to make sure that you will have a business continuity concept, even if you run into trouble with your management solution.
Note
With Azure Stack, we need to have in mind some special concepts that we have to consider with our business continuity plan:
- You cannot install anything directly on the Azure Stack VMs.
- Azure Stack portal and Azure Stack ARM live only in the first rack.
Note
As you may have your central backup solution, you need to make sure that it fits into the plan for backing up (and restoring) your Azure Stack integrated system.
The basic concept of Azure Stack is that you cannot install anything on Azure Stack virtual machines as it would break the supportability from Microsoft. The basic concept of Microsoft is that each VM has an integrated InMage Scout agent.
